It’s about time for another one of these anyway, and all the previous ones are locked.

TIL that Jim Harbaugh has more career rushing yards than Bo Jackson.

Mark Sanchez had a higher career postseason passer rating than Tom Brady and Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning's career long run (33 yards) is longer than Trent Richardon's career long (32 yards)


Doug Williams has more Superbowl passing TDs than Peyton Manning. Manning played in 4 Super Bowls. Williams in 1.

Bruce Arians holds the Virginia Tech record for rushing TDs as a QB. Not Michael Vick or Tyrod Taylor

Based on statistical models and recent scoring trends, 32-26 is currently considered the most likely scorigami to hit next.
?Research from Bucknell University suggests this score has roughly a 1-in-60 chance of occurring in any given game. Other high-probability candidates that have never happened include:

How? This one is shocking to me. Expansion teams and a shorter NBA lifespan?

I bring this one up every time because it still blows my mind. Wayne Gretzky has more career assists than anyone else has total points. Just completely insane.

NBA has only been around 75 or so years. LeBron is on year 21 and was drafted in 2003. Taking into account that every team plays every team multiple times every year we can assume LeBron "plays" every player in the NBA that was in the league for any of his 21 seasons.

Then you have to consider rookie LeBron was playing guys who came into the league in the early to mid 90s. Assuming the average player in '03 came in in '98 and you have 27 years covered of the 76 or 77 the NBA has been in existence for.

And like you said, expansion and more volatile roster turnover has helped the number increase as well relative to older guys that played forever like Robert Parrish.

Ohio State, Alabama, Texas Tech all had ZERO points at halftime in the CFP Quarterfinals, and all lost. Only Ole Miss and Georgia had points at halftime in a game they played against each other.
